Abstract

In order to teach autonomy, the teacher must exercise autonomy in his own learning. A teacher who does not practice autonomy cannot assist his student in achieving a level of autonomy. To employ a slightly tired cliché, we should practice what we preach. This was the call of David Little (1995), one of the first to talk about the teacher’s role in autonomy as anything other than a conduit for the learner’s own empowerment.
